As far as I remeber the intent of the restriction (and hence the wording)
was to be able to return a function result in a physical register what
would eliminate any overhead. Values of the above types are "small" in the
sense that they usually fit into a single physical register (or a pair of
registers).

Perhaps that restriction is no longer justified and desirable; if so then
the restriction could be removed, what would also eliminate the need to
define "small" or to rephrase the restriction.
